The HIVE project started out as an idea for a learning platform. Using TAHOE-lafs as a storage solution we are able to interlock anything we do into the GRID. What’s the GRID? The GRID is a group of Tahoe enabled capable computers (The BeagleBone Black) could be any computer. The idea is to share data across a GRID in a secure anonymous fashion. Using Tahoe-LAFS we can share and distribute project files lots and lots of data all gathered from the GRID. This uses “provider-independent security” that means I don’t know what your data is and neither does anyone else. Only you know what you uploaded so unless someone beats you with sticks until you hand over you unique URI. It’s all secret!
